seting up for new Home Theater

Hi i'am a newbie at this. i have a question what speakers go well with OnkyoTX-NR901Home theater receiver with THX Select, Dolby Digital EX, and home networking capability - Reconditioned by Onkyo. Also i was thinking of getting as a subwoofer SVSPC 25-31, and bose cube speakers for front & rear. What's recommended.

Trust me, Jessie. When this thread is over, you won't be considering Bose any longer. There may be a more over-priced speaker on the market but few have found it. What's your budget for speakers and sub?

That's a lot of receiver to run the tiny, crappy Bose cube speakers; a waste IMO.

Very good choice on sub, but the tiny cubes are designed to work when connected to their bass module only (the x-over circuitry is in the module). You would otherwise have to set them with an EXTREMEMLY high x-over at the receiver, and that means your sub will be trying to reproduce frequencies that it doesn't really need to.

Along with room size, what is your budget (USD?) for the speakers alone, not including the sub.

Those aren't the demensions. That's the area. How high are ceilings? Instead of budgeting separately for sub and speakers, you may do better with a package deal that includes both. That's why knowing the demensions (all three) would be helpful. How much sub you need and how the speakers would be arranged would help determine which way to go.

Jessie..... welcome to the world of HT and a great hobby that will never leave you with extra money laying around!!!

The SVS choice will be a good one for ya. As for the Bose, I try not to bash other's choices but the above posters are right in that there are some much better alternatives that will make your new HT quite a bit better.....

All in all, it will be about enjoying what you do end up choosing.....but just keep in mind.... my sig.........

Then there's always the "neighborhood" audio store. Good values can sometimes be found there but getting the speakers into your home for an audition can be more hassle than it's worth. I'm not a proponent of in-store auditions. The equipment is different. The room is different. The only place to find what works in your house is to audition in your house. It can be a lotta time and energy to find what works best for you but I enjoyed the process.

I need advise in soround,rear,center speakers. Which brands sound nice,clear and crisp budget of $1,200. I'am new @ this. I picked the SVS PB12+2 subwoofer whats a good conbination of speakers for this sub.
